Title: GPS precision approach and landing system for aircraft
Inventor: BROWN ALISON K
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 1993-09-07
Granted: 1995-08-17
Abstract: A GPS precision approach and landing system for aircraft employs a fixed ground facility and a single satellite navigation receiver on board the aircraft. The fixed ground facility includes a reference receiver that measures differential corrections to the satellite code and carrier measurements and a pseudolite that is employed to transmit these corrections to a broadband GPS receiver on board the aircraft and to provide an additional code and carrier measurement to assist in the navigation solution. The pseudolite signal is broadcast at a frequency offset from the L1 GPS frequency in order to prevent interference with the satellite navigation system. The broadband GPS receiver on board the aircraft is capable of making phase coherent measurements from the GPS satellites, the pseudolite signal, and the GLONASS satellites. These phase coherent measurements are combined to form a precise differential carrier ranging (DCR) solution that is used to provide three-dimensional position guidance of the aircraft throughout a precision approach and landing procedure. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1985-12-10
Granted: 1990-06-07
Abstract: The principles of invention consists in a two-step process of immobilization of biologically efficient compounds where the biologically efficient compounds are bonded to a macroporous polymeric carrier containing reactive functional groups from an aqueous solution by a hydrolytically stable linkage. The process is characterized in the first step by a hydrophobic adsorption of the biologically efficient compounds on a macroporous matrix of the carrier and to an increase of their concentration on the solid surface. In the second step, the reaction takes place with the reactive functional groups of carrier and a covalent linkage is formed. The hydrophobic adsorption of compounds determined for immobilization is achieved by addition of inorganic salts in concentration 0.5 to 3.0 mol/1. 
<??>The invention can be utilized in the preparation of enzymatic catalysts for transformations of compounds and in the preparation of specific sorbents for both the analytical and preparative affinity chromatography. These methods are used in biotechnology, chemical and clinical analysis, food industry, pharmacology and clinical therapy.

Title: Kilowatt-hour meter
Inventor: FIELDEN JOHN SPENSLEY
IPC: G01R11/24
Filed: 1980-01-03
Granted: 1983-03-31
Abstract: To detect tampering of a kilowatt-hour meter by the connection of a bypass link across the live connection through the meter, a voltage transformer within the meter unit is coupled to this live connecton so that a small volage is induced in the live connection in opposition to the supply voltage. The induced voltage produces a circulating current in the loop formed by the live connection and the bypass link and the transformer coupling is such that, with a bypass link of negligible resistance, the total current in the live connection is in opposite phase to the applied voltage. By means of a current transformer, a logic unit and a microprocessor, the phase of the current in the live connection within the meter is determined and is indicated by a latched flag indicator and/or transmitted to a distant data processor by a data link. Using a second current transformer in the return supply lead, the supply and return currents in the leads within the meter unit can be compared in the logic unit and processor to determine if the live connection is broken within the bypassed length. By means of contacts on the housing, indication is given if the housing of the unit has been opened.

Title: Vacuum apparatus for multiple-bed industrial hide driers, and drier including the apparatus
Inventor: CORNER ANTONIO
IPC: F26B5/04
Filed: 1994-03-14
Granted: 1997-10-09
Abstract: A vacuum apparatus for industrial hide driers with multiple beds (2) includes a circuit with an open end (17) having arranged in a series: a vapor manifold (7) for each bed; a first condenser (8) inserted in each manifold; a first condensate separator (10) at the output of the various condensers (8); a main vacuum pump (16) to gradually reduce the absolute pressure in the circuit to a first upper value (Ps). A particular feature of the system consists of the fact that it has a secondary aspiration device (19) which is arranged upstream of the main vacuum pump (16) to operate in series to this pump when the first value of the absolute pressure (Ps) is reached, so as to further reduce the pressure of the circuit to a second lower value (Pi).

Title: Improvements in and relating to testing coins
Inventor: DEAN R RAPHAEL P S
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 1981-02-05
Granted: 1986-08-21
Abstract: A coin testing apparatus comprises transmitting and receiving coils (14) and (15) on opposite sides of a coin passageway (11). The transmitting coil is connected to high and low frequency oscillators (16) and (17). The output of the receiving coil is separated into the high and low frequency components by a high pass filter (21) and a band pass filter (22). In the high frequency channel the signal is amplitude controlled by a voltage controlled amplifier (23) rectified by a rectifier (24) and smoothed by a long time-constant circuit (26). The initial rise in level caused by a coin entering between the coils (14) and (15) is detected by an instantaneous level change comparator (32) which responds to the rate of change of signal level at the output of the long time-constant circuit (26) becoming equal to preset threshold and causes a normally closed switch (27) to be opened. When the switch (27) is closed a comparator (31) compares the signal with a reference value from a source (30) and adjusts the gain of the amplifier (23) until the signal corresponds to the reference value. Upon the arrival of the coin the switch (27) is opened and a long time-constant circuit (28) causes the gain of the amplifier (23) to be maintained at the level before the arrival of the coin. A window comparator (33) compares the difference in voltage with voltage ranges for acceptable coins. A similar arrangement is provided in the low frequency channel but with two differences. The switch (27) in the low frequency channel is operated by the same instantaneous level comparator as is used for the high frequency channel and instead of a rectifier (24) a novel sample and hold technique is used for providing a d.c. signal from the output of the amplifier (23).

Title: Atm switch and copying arrangement
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1991-03-12
Granted: 1992-11-12
Abstract: Starting point: The sequence is known of a copying switching matrix, a distribution switching matrix and a destination switching matrix on the one hand, and on the other hand a switching matrix in which copying can be carried out in every stage. 
<??>Technical problem: Real operation is a mixture of point-to-point connections, point-to-multipoint connections with few branches and point-to-multipoint connections with many branches. The overall traffic and its individual constituent parts are constantly changing. The known structures are optimised in each case for one specific traffic type in one direction only. 
<??>Fundamental concept: The switching elements of a switching matrix which is optimised for point-to-point connections contain the additional facility for copying a small number of input signals for any number of outputs, whereby a very large number of copies can be achieved overall for a very small number of input signals. This switching matrix is supplemented by a copying switching matrix, which serves solely to produce in each case a limited number of copies for a large number of input signals, which are then switched in the (main) switching matrix as point-to-point connections. 
<??>Solution: Point-to-point connections are operated as "connectionless connections" by means of automatic switching element control. It is ensured that these connections act outwardly as virtual connections. Point-to-multipoint connections are also operated in the main switching matrix as virtual connections (connection-oriented) by means of connection tables. 
<??>Advantage:Interference-free rearrangement of existing virtual connections possible. Very even utilisation of the (main) switching matrix as a whole. 
<??>Disadvantage: Switching elements with two different addressing facilities required.
